THIS lovely chalet style home has so many options that you will need to take your time to appreciate all its beautiful features. On the right side on Bendigo to make a quick escape to Melbourne, boutique Big Hill is a wonderful destination when wanting to live close to town without all the hustle and bustle of the city. As you arrive at the front gate, the sweeping gravel driveway and stately eucalypts frame the picture perfect home, with its mix of stone and weatherboard its elevated position and full verandah paints the perfect picture. The main living area of the home is solid stone, not only creating a stunning visual effect, but also providing thermal mass for a temperate living environment and incredible peace and quiet. The formal lounge room has gas heater and refrigerated cooling and leads on to the meals area and kitchen with slate tile floors, all-timber cabinetry, stone bench tops and a large two-door pantry. An entrance foyer off the meals area would make an ideal office nook. It has great natural light and opens to the undercover entertaining area. Three bedrooms off the hallway all have built-in wardrobes and ceiling fans, while the main bedroom backs onto the living space so has a feature stone wall. The all-timber bathroom has a luxuriously deep corner spa while the spacious laundry has plenty of storage. Not only is this a comfortable family home, but with a large 4th bedroom and en suite plus spacious living room with bar at the back of the home, it would be easy to convert to a self-contained unit, ideal for live-in older relatives, a teen retreat or even a study with an extra living room it is an extremely versatile space. There's plenty of undercover parking with a 7 x 10-metre steel shed, a covered open bay with space for three more vehicles, and a single garage on the north end of the home. Set on just over an acre of land, and just around the corner from Garland Rise Estate this property also has potential development opportunity (STCA). It really does present a stylish option for any family with Big Hill Primary School at the end of the street and Lansell Square just a few minutes away.
